Does anyone know where I can buy a shinel russian greatcoat? Here's the catch - it's the hook and eye flap-over design at the front, not fastened with buttons. Mean and green have them but only in small/med sizes and i'm 6' 1". Just missed the perfect one on ebay, cos I was in the Lakes and couldn't get signal on my girlfriend's I-phone, despite crawling out of the tent at 0615, in the pouring rain, to trudge for 15 minutes to the place where vodafone had briefly piped in a signal the day before.... Aaargh!

Many thanks for that but already tried them, left messages, and nobody got back to me. Are they normally quite reliable? Will certainly give them another go....

Oleg tends to work from his house near London from memory. Give him a call since I vaguely remember he takes a while with E-mails. Must admit last time I bought of him was in 2002 so a while back but he is well regarded for Russian kit when I used to play Airsoft.
